Is this tablet running on Android Operating system by Google ? Or a modified version of it ? Okay, lets check out two screenshots.

First Screenshot is from a random Android phone. Search android UI in Google and you will find many of them.

Nice title .. isn’t it ? Okay, this is the problem with people who use twitter a lot, you always try to make things short. The title means, “Joy To the World, The Saviour is Born”.  Well, if you have an online business, or, if you care about how your business reputation is online, that is.

You will call me crazy if I do not explain this now.

Do you remember Nikhil ? ( yea I should ask “remember ? ” because he was missing for quite some time ). He was crazy enough to leave his job during recession and then start a new venture called “ Dark Water Digital” and he launched it today, officially.

What is it ?

So, if you have an online business or if you are serious about the online identity of your firm, you are saved. Wait, did you say, you do not care about the web 2.0 face of your company ? Man ! you are screwed !!

So, this is something you should really check out. I did talk to Nikhil about this project and I now know that it did  really good, even before its official launch, which was today.  Let us wish our “little” ( duh, sorry Nikhil :D I couldn’t stop myself there ) Nikhil all the best !!

Thesis WordPress Theme

If it was a free theme …. you know me very well right ? ( if you do not know … I keep changing my themes .. I change whenever I find a good theme ).

See what it’s author says

I built the Thesis Theme because I wanted a framework that had it all—killer typography, a dynamically resizable layout, intelligent code, airtight optimization, and tons of flexibility. Now, after months of field testing, I’m confident enough to offer it to those of you who have come to expect nothing but the finest themes from me.

Add CSS to Google Docs

So, here is another new feature on Google Docs, for those who wants to do things in “style”. You can now add CSS styles to your docs on Google Docs. Before we go any further, here is a quick explanation of what CSS is, in case you do not know what it is.

CSS is used to help readers of web pages to define colors, fonts, layout, and other aspects of document presentation. It is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar markup language) from document presentation (written in CSS). This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content. ( Wikipedia )
